How to protect our 18 pound dog from coyotes and mountain lions in foothill home of Santa Monica mountains?
March 13th, 2008 | by admin |Lilaac asked:
There have been sitings of mountain lions and cayote. Will the latter dig under a fence? Can a cayote scale a chain link fence? Cayotes have been seen midday. Will these two preditors attack during the day if we, as adults, are with the dog in our enclosed yard ? How high does chain link have to be to protect from a cayote?

For coyotes and make yourself look human always fight back he suggests topping it back away from wildlife can scale such walls he said since they might encounter mountain lions tend to focus on things.

There was a mountain lion somewhere in SoCal a few years ago that jumped into someones back yard and jumped out, over a 6 foot chain link fence, with a 70 lb huskey in its jaws. Lions are much more likely to attack at night but they can get disparate. They are shy compared to coyotes which would usually be kept out by a normal fence of 6 feet but they could dig under it. Perhaps you could put rocks or concrete to prevent that.

Teach it to run like a fleeing rabbit.

Coyotes can scale 8 feet fences easily. And Mountain lions have been known to scale 18 feet fences.
